Young Royal Prince Harry is clearly just as popular in America as he is in the UK. Wills' younger brother arrived in the US yesterday and his appearance in Washington quickly attracted a crowd of admirers...

Prince Harry proved a huge hit when he kicked off his week-long US tour yesterday.

The 28-year-old Royal joined First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House on Thursday afternoon for a reception in honor of military mothers and their children.

Harry's appearance at the event was a surprise for the kids and their parents and he received a huge cheer when Michelle addressed his work in the army in her speech.

She told the guests: "It is an honor to welcome Prince Harry to the White House today.

"As you all may know, Prince Harry is a captain in the Army Air Corps in the British armed forces.

"We are absolutely thrilled he could be with us today. He just arrived in DC. He only has a limited time here.

"But when he heard about this tea and all of you, he wanted to be here to personally thank you for all your service."

Harry also attended an exhibition by the Halo Trust, an anti-landmine charity that was supported by his late mother Princess Diana.

The young Royal also met Senator John McCain at Capitol Hill, where his arrival was welcomed by a crowd of female admirers.
